Elon Musk

Sorry pedo guy, you really did ask for it.

Elon Musk had a very bad year, but probably marked the beginning of the end of his time as Tesla Chairman with a baseless and embarrassing Twitter rant about Vern Unsworth, who would eventually lead the heroic rescue of several stranded Thai children.

Dominic Raab

I hadn’t quite understood the full extent of this, but if you look at the UK and look at how we trade in goods, we are particularly reliant on the Dover-Calais crossing.

Raab was all at sea as Brexit Minister. His understanding of the Dover-Calais trade links was revealed as very shallow indeed with that staggeringly dim remark.
